Bangladesh’s National Citizen Party (NCP) alleged that its convoy carrying central leaders was attacked and vandalised after its July march programme in Jaintapur, Sylhet. The incident occurred around 10:45pm on Friday in the Haripur Bazar area, according to the report. NCP chief coordinator Muhammad Nasiruddin Patwary and another person, Redwan, were said to have been injured.

Jubayer Ahmad, convenor of the Sylhet metropolitan unit of Chhatra Shakti, an NCP affiliate, said a group of 40 to 50 people threw bricks and stones at the moving vehicles. He said the attack took place after the convoy passed Haripur Bazar and before it reached Chikanagul, following a road meeting in Jaintapur. Vehicle windows were broken, and the two injured people received primary treatment.

A Facebook post by Nasiruddin Patwary also claimed that an attack had occurred. However, details of the injured people’s physical condition were not available. Jaintapur Model Police Station officer-in-charge Golam Dastagir Ahmed denied that the incident had occurred, saying those making the claim had not told the truth.
